HAH! I fixed it. The ECU IG Fuse under the dash was in the spot below where it goes. I had removed the sticker that tells you the location of the fuses (Because I had drilled a 2" hole for my air tank gauge and put it there) I put the sticker in a folder in the car for later reference. I looked and it showed the fuse was in a spot X where no fuse went, moved it up one place and booom!!!!!!!!! YAY
Thank You everyone for all the help!!!

Better question, what caused you to move the fuse? Because it would have had to had happened before the whole "check your fuses" post due to the fact that the problem occurred before your tranny started to do what ever it wanted...
Im not trying to be a dick, so please dont take it that way... Im trying to figure out the competence of my local toyota dealer since you said you got the employee discount on the parts, which means that you most likely work there or know someone who does, who would have been able to point you in the correct direction of the fix to begin with...

Dealers don't like customers working on their own cars - they think it is their job and little mistakes like this is why. Something I learned a long time ago . . . assume nothing, check everything no matter how simple, make sure you have POWER!

I did check my fuses, I made sure none were blown. The fuse was in a place right below where it was supposed to be. At some point whenever I was checking fuses in the passed for something while it was still in the garage I must have placed it in the hole below where it belonged. I didn't realize it didn't belong there because the sticker that goes on the inside of the fuse panel cover on the dash is no longer there. I removed it when I drilled for my air tank gauge and put it there. I took the sticker and put it on the inside of a folder in my car. I was looking for my multi meter, found the fuse sticker in my stuff and decided to look at the fuses labels and see if there are any to do with the ignition or anything of sorts. I then saw where it says fuse 1 2 3 and X for the 4th. Well mine was fuse 1 2 empty 4
I had fuse 3 where X was. So I put it back in the wrong spot after checking it for some reason while parked in the garage.

It was a simple mistake and I'm not worried about how competent anyone thinks I am or aren't.

I've done a ton of things to the car since it was parked in November. keyless entry, tv tuner, new gauge lights, all kinds of electrical stuff. I'm always in the fuse box for things, so it's hard to tell the reason it got moved in the passed 7 months.

Yea dont trust the dealer either.
They did an oil change on my car and for some reason they removed my engine cover and scratched it all up. I fought for an hour but they never ended up giving me a new one.
Well this should be a sticky considering some people might have this issue down the road.

I could have taken the car to the dealer to begin with, even tho it was a simple stupid issue. But I am too particular about my things and I don't want anyone near or to touch my car.
I have 3 free oil changes at the dealer still, but I won't take my car to let them even do that.
